Now more focused and quality-oriented than ever, Grace leadership is evident in all our products:

Davison Chemicals fluid cracking catalysts, hydroprocessing and polyolefin catalysts are crucial in transforming hydrocarbons into consumer goods such as gasoline, jet fuel, diesel fuel and plastics.

Our fluid cracking catalyst additives and automotive catalysts help industries meet and exceed environmental regulations. Raney® catalysts synthesize organic compounds in fibers, pharmaceuticals and plastics. Specialty catalysts are designed for custom processes and applications.

Our silica gels and molecular sieve adsorbents enhance manufacturing processes and end products in a wide range of industrial and consumer applications, from toothpastes and edible oils to paints and plastics.

Performance Chemicals-construction chemicals are in such high profile structures as the Bank of China in Hong Kong; the Dame Point Bridge in Jacksonville, FL; the Central Artery Project in Boston; and the Amerada Hess Oil Storage Platform in Scotland. Of course, Grace products also protect many lesser-known, but no less important structures including many commercial and residential buildings.

Our building materials are preferred worldwide for waterproofing, fire protection and roof underlayments to prevent water damage and protect structural steel against collapse during fire. Some examples of projects include the World Trade Center in New York; Berkeley Square in Glasgow, Scotland; the London Underground; and, the City Centre in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, currently the world's tallest building.

We also lead in container products technology, with rigid package sealing to protect safety and freshness in billions of cans annually, and coatings to guard metal against corrosion and ensure proper adhesion of sealing compounds
